Block layer implements generic dispatch queue in ll_rw_blk.c and elevator.c.
Block layer implements generic dispatch queue in block/*.c.
The generic dispatch queue is responsible for properly ordering barrier

A block layer call to the i/o scheduler follows the convention elv_xxx(). This
calls elevator_xxx_fn in the elevator switch (drivers/block/elevator.c). Oh,
xxx and xxx might not match exactly, but use your imagination. If an elevator
